Been swimming with a child with molluscum (sp) today

[ScarlettIsWalking]

I had no idea the little girl had it until the mum told us when asked what the marks were on her child's tummy. She didn't seem too bothered about it but I am a little concerned.

How likely is it that DD will catch it?

Can anyone advise if this is too early but DD has what looks like a little spot on her cheeck today

I am obviously v concerned about it esp being on her face but would it appear so quickly of it were M?

I don't think it would appear that fast.

ok thank you - this looks more like a tiny tiny pimple but who knows...

I appreciate your help

I think it's a lot less common on the face

The nhs website has a lot of info on molluscum

The NHS site also says that treatment with Australian lemon myrtle can reduce the warts by 90% in some children.
